Another of the more elevated restaurants in La Grave is The Refuge Chancel which offers traditional mountain food the way God intended: on the mountain. Situated at 2,508-metres, the hut is on the way back down to the resort, and is a no-brainer for those seeking the real deal. Naturally, the menu is limited (thanks to its hard-to-reach location), but it is homemade, hearty and just what the doctor ordered after a hard day on the slopes. The soup of the day is usually very good. Run by charismatic mountain couple Annie and Daniel, you can’t put a foot wrong here.
